2023 Kia Sportage Overview

To the delight of Kia compact SUV enthusiasts, the Sportage underwent a redesign with the 2023 model which includes more length and power. What it doesn’t stray from is its commitment to safety with the track record to back it up.

The 2023 Kia Sportage is available in LX, EX, SX, SX-Prestige and chart-topping X-Line trims. A pair of off-road packages are available with the X-Pro and X-Pro Prestige versions. Regardless of which trim you choose, the new Sportage is wider, taller and adds 7.1 inches of length, drawing it out to 183.5 inches.

In addition to the off-road iterations, Kia is excited to roll out the 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid.

What Makes it Go and How Much Can a Kia Sportage Tow?

Even though the 2023 Kia Sportage features more space than ever, for most drivers, there will still be those occasions when towing comes in handy. The 2023 Kia Sportage has got you and all your… stuff…covered with impressive towing capacity numbers.

Not only does the size of the new Sportage grow, but so, too, does the engine. With the 2023 model, drivers will experience a stronger 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, good for 187 horsepower. The 8-speed automatic replaces the 6-speed automatic in previous Sportages.

The Kia Sportage Hybrid performs by way of a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine that works in conjunction with a 1.49-kwh battery pack electric motor. What this all translates to is a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds behind the 2023 Kia Sportage.

Base trims come standard with front-wheel drive, while available all-wheel drive comes with EX and SX-Prestige versions.
